We are migrating CKEditor issue tracking to GitHub. Please, use GitHub to report any new issues.

The former tracking system (this website) will still be available in the read-only mode. All issues reported in the past will still be available publicly and can be referenced.

Important: we decided not to transfer all the tickets to GitHub, as many of them are not reproducible anymore or simply no longer requested by the community. If the issue you are interested in, can be still reproduced in the latest version of CKEditor, feel free to report it again on GitHub. At the same time please note that issues reported on this website are still taken into consideration when picking up candidates for next milestones.

The "Clean Up Box" button in Paste from Word is confusing

Description

Pasting from Word...

When I paste from Word... I get the popup box... and it is easy to use...

But some of my users... find the button "Clean Up Box" confusing... because they think it refers to the actual process of converting "word" to "html" (a process of cleaning up the text)... so the users get very confused when it actually empties the box.

Currently that button is shown only when pasting from word. Maybe we could remove it?

From my point of view it isn't necessary, (the fact that it isn't shown with a paste as text or when we can't access the clipboard and that there are no bugs requesting it means that it isn't a missed feature in those situations), and if we remove it then this problem disappears and people will have one less thing to worry about, the dialog will be easier to use.

If we don't remove it, then changing the string in en.js seems like an easy task.

Yes, that button is confusing. Let's remove it from the interface to make it cleaner. It is supposed to be used rarely (even if very useful in those rare cases), but users can always cancel the dialog if things get too messed up.
